Vegas Crew Application

For the January trip, the crew is contemplating adding a few additional members. The first step in that process is being nominated by a current crew member . . . but what about after that? Shouldn't there be some sort of written application? Absolutely.

If you feel like answering the questions - please do! Just e-mail me back your answers. I've received a few already and the responses are pretty humorous! I'll post my favorite or favorites in the next couple days.


theApplication – You have 15 minutes to complete this Application in full.

(d) Unpack, check blackberry, and drink a diet Cherry Coke.


14. When riding in a taxi or a limo, is it appropriate to ask the driver to drive as fast as he can up to a casino entrance and then hit his brakes so that the car will come to a screeching stop?


15. Two-part Question. It is 3 a.m. You are playing black jack. You order a drink. The drink does not come for 30 minutes. During that 30 minutes you suffer a money flush (i.e., you lose all your chips). Would you immediately call over the pit boss and demand that your entire trip be comped? If the pit boss didn't give you any love, would you continue your efforts up the management chain until you received some sort of just compensation?

if my 5 yr old and 7 yr old can pass this test does that mean I fail the test of quality parenting?

I am pretty sure they could nail #1, and they do a great Steve Wynn "...next time, we do this in the Lobby...."

Lol, it sucks when the answer to # 22 is: Bellagio.
